A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
  From Javadoc in Java source code:
/**
 * @author    Per Spilling
 * @author    Knut Erik Ballestad
 * @created   7. november 2001
 */

When
using multiple @author tags, I expected results as documented in the JDK
1.4 javadoc tool documentation at
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/tooldocs/win32/javadoc.html
:

It states:
@author name-text
Adds an "Author" entry with the
specified name-text to the generated docs when the -author option is used. A
doc comment may contain multiple @author tags. You can specify one name
per @author tag or multiple names per tag. In the former case, the Javadoc
tool inserts a comma (,) and space between names. In the latter case, the
entire text is simply copied to the generated document without being
parsed. Therefore, use multiple names per line if you want a localized
name separator other than comma.

Instead of simply using commas for
separation, some undocumented HTML code are inserted, which messes up
the output generated by the javadoc tool.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. Simple generate som javacode from a java file with multiple @author
tags.


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
Expected generated javadoc HTML code:

Should be straightforward to fix.

This bug was in SimpleTaglet.java, so affected all simple taglets, which
are @author, @version and @since.
Fixed for hopper.  Regression test at:
